Legendary Terror Squad MC Fat Joe is known more in this day and age for his enviable sneaker collection. Now, he has once again made headlines by showcasing an extremely rare and never-before-seen Off-White x Nike Air Force 1.
This particular pair stands out not just for its rarity but also for the unique Arabic text emblazoned below the oversized, crinkly Swooshes—a translation of Virgil Abloh’s iconic “Off-White for Nike” slogan that punctuated much of his collaborative work with the brand.
The shoe, which also features Off-White collaborations' classic exposed foam tongue, seems to be a sample version of Virgil’s MoMA Air Force 1. This design choice by the late Virgil Abloh, who drew inspiration from many sources, marks a rare utilization of Arabic in his extensive catalog. Previously, Abloh's work with Arabic elements was seen in his creative direction for Lil Uzi Vert’s “XO Tour Llif3” music video, making this sneaker an intriguing piece in the continuum of his innovative designs.
This reveal adds to the growing speculation around rekindling the Off-White x Nike partnership, with rumors swirling about new Air Jordan 1 editions and a potential return of the seminal “The Ten” collection in 2026.
For now, the story behind this unique Air Force 1 remains a mystery, but it has undoubtedly captured the attention of sneakerheads worldwide.
Stay tuned for more details as they emerge, and keep an eye out for more surprises that may unfold from the storied Off-White x Nike collaboration.
